I do not think it is necessary to give this a formal name, unless it be desired 

 to similarly treat the remainder of the numerous species which, while normally trees, 

 flower in a shrubby state. 



RANGE. 



The type came from the Burnett River (near Bundaberg), in Queensland, and 

 in the " Eucalyptographia " it was only recorded by the author from central and south 

 Queensland localities, ■ viz. : — " In poor, hilly country, hitherto traced from Moreton 

 Bay (Bailey) to the Burnett River (Mueller) and the Mackenzie River (Bowman, 

 O'Shanesy), chiefly in the sandstone formation." In Queensland, however, it occurs as 

 far north as Stannary Hills, west of Cairns, while since I now record it from Bathurst 

 and Melville Islands, it will doubtless be found to occur on the Cape York peninsula, 

 and in the Northern Territory generally. 



Going south, it occurs in New South Wales, as far south as the Goulburn River 

 and Denman district, occurring over a large area north and north-west, chiefly on poor 

 sandy and rocky land, until Queensland is approached and the Queensland localities 

 connected therewith.
